Fall Cold

I offically have a fall cold. My tonsels are swollen, my nose is running, my sinuses very full. My throat is scratchy. I'm even a little achy. Yesterday I was feeling a little out of it, but I figured it was just my allergies having one last hurrah before winter, after all I spend a couple of days deep cleaning my room, which was sure to knock a lot of dust into the air. If only it was just my allergies. It seems without fail I tend to get sick at least one a year. Its never really bad enough to keep me in bed all day (I had full blow pneumonia once and was still playing soccer). However, when I get a cold I can be a very bad patient (like still playing soccer while sick).

So today I have decided to not go for a run. I'm going to drink a lot of orange juice and tea. I'm going to make myself soup for lunch, and I'm going to get over this stupid cold before then end of the week. I even took nyquil last night (I'm never actually sure if it helps or makes things worse). At least I can still breath out of my nose... that is normally the first thing to go.

And at least part of me just wants to yell "MOM" and let her fix it. Of course that would mean a four hour trip. And I'm going homewards this weekend for Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll be better by then. I hope I'm better by then.

I HATE BEING SICK!
